Yunzheng
CELTA & QTS - Certified Teacher | MA in Language Teaching | Speak 3 Languages | Lived in 5 Countries This past year, I taught English at a summer program at the University of Oxford and taught Mandarin at one of the best language schools in London. I am friendly and patient, and know firsthand the challenges of language learning. Therefore, if you are a beginner, I have the materials to support you build a solid foundation of the target language. We will focus on grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. After the beginner stage, the most important is language immersion. We will speak in the target language and talk about different topics depending on your interest. Real-life materials such as videos and news articles will be used to expand your vocabulary and make learning more engaging!

Marco Academic EP
Cambridge C2 Proficiency,grade A. Postgrad diplomas in English Teaching Methodology & Ed. Psychology Over 30 years blending principles and techniques to produce exceptional results. In 1984 I started teaching English privately. Early in my career I was trained in the audiolingual method, and afterwards in the direct method at Berlitz. I also studied French, German and Italian using different methods. Later, I was trained in the Communicative Approach. All methods have strong points and weaknesses. Some techniques work better in a group and need to be adapted for individual lessons. Over the decades, over thousands of lessons and with inspiration of ideas from psychology and applied linguistics, I have learned to blend different principles and techniques to produce exceptional results .

Learning a language can be frustrating. Especially if you feel like you’re not making progress. That’s why I make my lessons fun, interesting, and logical. I structure my lessons in a way that helps you build upon the vocabulary and grammar that you already know. I also provide resources and written transcripts to help you review. That way, you can look back and see your progress. I use scientifically proven study methods, such as spaced repetition and active recall to make our time together efficient and effective.
